Objective:To build a nursing care plan decision-making support system based on the hospital's nursing information system and evaluate its effects in newly hired nurses.Methods:This study adopted a non-synchronous pre-post control design. Totally 181 newly hired nurses recruited by Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, were selected by convenience sampling. The control group consisted of 85 new nurses hired in August 2021, while the intervention group consisted of 96 new nurses hired in August 2022. The control group received traditional training methods, while the intervention group received training through the nursing care plan decision-making support system in addition to the traditional methods. The nursing decision-making ability and the quality of specialty nursing care were compared between the two groups.Results:Finally, 81 nurses were included in the control group, and 93 nurses were included in the intervention group. The nursing decision-making ability score in the intervention group was (80.15±4.59), which was significantly higher than the (78.62±5.13) in the control group ( t=-2.080, P=0.039). The intervention group also had a significantly higher qualified rate of specialty nursing care compared to the control group (χ 2=6.626, P=0.036) . Conclusions:The application of the nursing care plan decision-making support system in the standardized training of newly hired nurses can improve their nursing decision-making abilities and the quality of specialty nursing care.

Objective To observe the correlations of chest CT quantitative parameters in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)with blood eosinophil(EOS)level.Methods Chest CT data of 162 AECOPD patients with elevated eosinophils were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into low EOS group(n=105)and high EOS group(n=57)according to the absolute counting of blood EOS.The quantitative CT parameters,including the number of whole lung bronchi and the volume of blood vessels,low-attenuation area percentage(LAA％)of whole lung,of left/right lung and each lobe of lung,as well as the luminal diameter(LD),wall thickness(WT),wall area(WA)and WA percentage of total bronchial cross-section(WA％)of grade 3 to 8 bronchi were compared between groups.Spearman correlations were performed to analyze the correlations of quantitative CT parameters with blood EOS level.Results LAA％of the whole lung,of the left/right lung and each lobe of lung,as well as of the upper lobe of right lung LDgrade4,middle lobe of right lung WTgrade5,upper lobe of right lung WAgrade4,middle lobe of right lung WAgrade5 and lower lobe of left lung WAgrade3 in low EOS group were all higher than those in high EOS group(all P＜0.05).Except for the upper lobe of right lung LDgrade4,the above quantitative CT indexes being significant different between groups were all weakly and negatively correlated with blood EOS level(r=-0.335 to-0.164,all P＜0.05).Conclusion Chest CT quantitative parameters of AECOPD patients were correlated with blood EOS level,among which LAA％,a part of WT and WA were all weakly negatively correlated with blood EOS level.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effects of a small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice and to analyze the possible mechanism at the macrophage level.Methods:DBA/1 mice were injected with bovine type Ⅱ collagen to establish the CIA model. Then, they were injected with HIF-1α-siRNA adenovirus or negative control adenovirus through tail vein once a week for four weeks. This study included four groups: control group, CIA model group, negative control group and HIF-1α-siRNA group. Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were isolated and cultured. The relative expression of CD206 and arginine (Arg) at mRNA level in mouse BMDMs was detected by RT-PCR. The proportions of F4/80 + CD16/32 + M1 and F4/80 + CD206 + M2 macrophages in spleen and thymus were detected by flow cytometry. Pathological changes in the ankle joint of mice were observed using HE staining. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of macrophages and the subsets in mouse synovial tissues. Results:(1) Compared with the control group, the CIA model group showed decreased expression of CD206 at mRNA level in BMDMs, but increased expression of Arg at mRNA level ( P<0.01). HIF-1α-siRNA increased the expression of CD206 at mRNA level ( P<0.05) and reduced the expression of Arg at mRNA level in BMDMs of mice with CIA ( P<0.01). (2) Compared with the control group, the mice in the CIA model group had increased proportions of F4/80 + CD16/32 + M1 macrophages in splenocytes and thymocytes ( P<0.05), but decreased proportions of F4/80 + CD206 + M2 macrophages in thymocytes ( P<0.05). HIF-1α-siRNA could down-regulate the proportions of F4/80 + CD16/32 + M1 macrophages in splenocytes and thymocytes ( P<0.05), and up-regulate the proportions of F4/80 + CD206 + M2 macrophages in thymocytes of CIA mice ( P<0.01). (3) CIA mice had synovial hyperplasia and macrophages infiltration, especially M1 macrophages, in the ankle joint. HIF-1α-siRNA could alleviate the synovial hyperplasia and macrophage infiltration. Conclusions:HIF-1α-siRNA could alleviate macrophage infiltration and synovial hyperplasia in CIA mice through reducing the proportions of M1 macrophages in thymocytes, BMDMs and synovial tissues and increasing the proportion of M2 macrophages, suggesting that HIF-1α-siRNA could treat CIA mice by regulating the differentiation of M1 and M2 macrophages.

The patient, a 61-year-old female, was admitted to the hospital for 15 days of frequent urination, urgency, painful urination and hematuria. B-ultrasound showed irregular hypoechoic masses on the anterior wall of the bladder. CT showed that the right anterior wall of the bladder protruded into the cavity of the soft tissue mass, which was lobulated, and the edge of the mass showed arc-shaped calcification; enhancement shows that the mass continues to enhance. Cystoscopy showed a lobulated soft tissue mass protruding into the cavity on the right anterior wall of the bladder, and cystoscopy showed tumor-like lesions. The preoperative clinical and imaging diagnosis was a malignant tumor of the bladder. Open partial resection of the right anterior wall of the bladder under general anesthesia, and pathological diagnosis of bladder leiomyosarcoma after surgery. Adjuvant chemotherapy (gemcitabine 1.6 g + epirubicin 80 mg + cisplatin 30 mg) was started 2 months after the operation. The chemotherapy was discontinued after a year, and the patient had no obvious adverse reactions. There were no signs of recurrence and metastasis after a 2-year follow-up.

Objective: To analysis the clinical characteristics and experiences in diagnosis and treatment of the patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP). Methods: Clinical data of 28 patients with NCP in Nanning Fourth People's Hospital from January 22 to February 5 in 2020 were collected. The clinical manifestations, epidemiological history, laboratory tests, imaging examinations and treatments of patients were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The 28 patients with confirmed viral pneumonia included 11 males and 17 females, ranging from 11 to 68 years. They all had history of epidemiological exposure and were all positive for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid in throat swabs. There were one mild case, 25 ordinary cases and two severe cases. There were four groups of family clusters. The illness onset ranged from 1 to 12 days after exposure, and the time from the symptom onset to the positive result of the nucleic acid test was 0 to 13 days. The clinical symptoms were mainly fever and cough, which progressed rapidly in a short period of time. Since the onset of illness, the peak values of axillary temperature of the 28 patients were 36.6~39.5 ℃, while five patients had no fever throughout the course of the disease with the peak temperature of ≤37 ℃. There were two patients presented with decreased white blood cell counts, five patients with elevated C reactive protein, six patients with abnormal alanine aminotransferase, three patients with abnormal aspartate aminotransferase,10 patients with elevated creatine kinase, three patients with elevated creatine kinase isoenzyme, four patients with elevated lactate dehydrogenase, and all with normal procalcitonin levels. The chest computed tomography examinations showed that the common features were ground glass shadows (21 cases), blurred edges (18 cases), speckles and patchy shadows (17 cases), thickening and disorder of some lung textures (7 cases), and visible band shadows (7 cases). Pulmonary lesions often progressed rapidly. One 11-year-old child was treated with alpha-interferon alone, and 27 patients were treated with alpha-interferon inhalation plus lopinavir/ritonavir with 4 withdrawal due to adverse reactions. Up to February 12, nine patients had been discharged from the hospital, who were ordinary cases, without death cases. Conclusions The NCP patients mostly present with fever and cough. Pulmonary lesions often progress rapidly. Respiratory pathogen testing should be conducted as early as possible and repeatedly. Disisolation should be cautious for suspected people who are negative for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid in pharynx swabs.

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the short-term clinical efficacy and safety of intraperitoneal perfusion of natural killer (NK) cells in the treatment of ovarian cancer with ascites. Methods: The clinical data of 15 ovarian cancer patients with ascites effusion, who received NK cell perfusion in the Qinhuai Medical District of the General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command from November 2016 to January 2019, were analyzed. The peripheral blood was collected to isolate the peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and to further obtain the NK cells after culture. NK cell suspension was intraperitoneally perfused into the abdominal cavity (no less than 2×109 cells/ time). The volume of peritoneal effusion, the level of serum tumor marker CA-125, the level of serum cytokines IL-2, INF-γ and TNF-α as well as the changes in peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets were detected before and after the treatment; Moreover, the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions were observed. Results: The effective rate of intraperitoneal perfusion of NK cells was 66.7%, and there were no obvious treatment-related adverse reactions. Compared with before treatment, the serum tumor marker CA-125 level significantly decreased after treatment (P<0.05), and the levels of IL-15, IFN-γ and TNF-α increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01), while there was no significant changes in peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Intraperitoneal infusion of NK cells in the treatment of ovarian cancer associated peritoneal effusion has a good short-term clinical efficacy with little adverse reactions, which is a promising method for the treatment of cancerous peritoneal effusion.

Objective: To investigate the characteristic and prognostic significance of leukemia stem cells associated antigens expressions including CD34, CD38, CD123, CD96 and TIM-3 in t (8;21) AML. Methods: Bone marrow samples of 47 t (8;21) AML patients were collected at diagnosis from October 2015 to April 2018 in Peking University Peoples’ Hospital, then flow cytometry method was performed to detect the expression frequencies of CD34, CD38, CD123, CD96 and TIM-3 to analyze the relationship between leukemia stem cells associated antigens expressions and relapse. Results: Of 47 t (8;21) AML patients tested, the median percentages of CD34⁺CD38^-, CD34⁺ CD38^-CD123⁺, CD34⁺CD38^- CD96⁺ and CD34⁺ CD38^- TIM-3⁺ cells among nucleated cells were 2.37%, 0.24%, 0.27% and 0.06%, respectively. All the frequencies of CD34⁺CD38^-, CD34⁺CD38^-CD123⁺, CD34⁺CD38^-CD96⁺ and CD34⁺ CD38^-TIM-3⁺ cells had no impact on the achievement of CR after the first course of induction. All higher frequencies of CD34⁺CD38^-, CD34⁺CD38^-CD123⁺, CD34⁺CD38^-CD96⁺ cells were related to higher 2-year CIR rate. Whereas, the frequency of CD34⁺ CD38^- TIM-3⁺ cells had no impact on CIR rate. Both high frequency of CD34⁺ CD38^- cells and the high level of minimal residual diseases (patients with <3-log reduction in the RUNX1-RUNX1T1 transcript level after the second consolidation therapy) were independent poor prognostic factors of CIR[P=0.025, HR=6.9 (95%CI 1.3-37.4) ; P=0.031, HR=11.1 (95%CI 1.2-99.2) ]. Conclusion Different leukemia stem cells associated antigens had distinct prognostic significance in t (8;21) AML. High frequencies of CD34⁺ CD38^-, CD34⁺ CD38^- CD123⁺ and CD34⁺CD38^-CD96⁺ cells at diagnosis predicted relapse in patients with t (8;21) AML.

Objective To investigate the impact of sample typeon the detection of c-KIT exon 17 mutation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 51 bone marrow samples collected from 37 AML patients [17 maleand 20 female, with a median age of 33 (range from 1 to 82)] at diagnosis or after treatment from June 2016 to August 2018. Of the 37 cases of AML, 24 were t(8; 21) AML, 11 were inv(16)/t(16;16) AML and 2 were non-CBF-AML. RNA and DNA were simultaneously extracted from every sample. PCR followed by Sanger sequencing were used to screen c-KIT exon 17 mutation, and the comparisons were made between paired cDNA and DNAsamples. Results (1) Of the 51 paired samples, 14 pairs were simultaneously detected positive for c-KITmutation in both of cDNA and DNA samples, but 17 pairs were detected negative in both, and the remaining 20 pairswere only detected positive for the mutation in cDNA but not in DNA, with an inconsistency rate of 39.2％. The positive rate of detecting c-KITmutation was significantly higher in cDNA than in DNA samples (66.7％vs 27.5％,P=0.000073). (2)Inconsistent mutation results between paired cDNA and DNA samples occurred in t(8;21)AML, inv(16)AML and non-CBF-AML patients with the inconsistency rate of 36.4％(12/33), 27.2％(3/11) and 71.4％ (5/7), respectively. (3)The inconsistency rate was significantly higher in samples collected after treatment compared with those collected at diagnosis (72.7％vs 13.8％, P=0.00003). (4) All 5 serially monitored patients with c-KITmutation had inconsistency in mutation detection between cDNA and DNA samples during follow up. Conclusion cDNA improves the detection of c-KIT exon 17 mutation in AML patients compared with DNA, which is especially common after treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical characteristics and genetic basis of a child affected with Glass syndrome. METHODS: Clinical manifestations and auxiliary examination results of the child were analyzed. Potential mutation was detected with next generation sequencing and validated by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: The child has featured growth and mental retardation, delayed speech, cleft palate, crowding of teeth, and downslanting palpebral fissures. DNA sequencing revealed a de novo heterozygous missense mutation c.1166G>A (p.R389H) in exon 8 of the SATB2 gene in the child. CONCLUSION The heterozygous mutation c.1166G>A (p.R389H) of the SATB2 gene probably account for the Glass syndrome in the patient.
